Halle is a technician at a university chemistry lab and is in charge of safety inspections and prevention of injury due to faulty equipment. One morning, as a result of his inspection, Halle discovers a gas burner with a broken valve. Halle gets distracted and fails to put an "OUT OF ORDER/DO NOT USE" sign on the faulty burner. When the morning class arrives, Adrian uses the faulty burner and is burned when it catches fire. Halle's neglience is based on g

The correct answer is letter "B": nonfeasance.

Explanation:

Nonfeasance refers to the legal concept by which an individual can be found liable for the harm of another party because of not preventing the harm when it was part of the individual's obligation. Nonfeasance is the lack of action to help avoid the damage. Nonfeasance can lead to criminal prosecution or at least termination of the contract of the individuals who did not fulfill their obligations.

bd = 9 cm

step-by-step explanation:

in a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the ratio of side lengths is 1 : √3 : 2. that is, the longest side (hypotenuse) is twice the length of the shortest side.

all of the triangles in your geometry are 30°-60°-90° triangles. ac is the hypotenuse of δacd, and the short side of δabc.

the short side ad of δacd will be half the length of ac, so 3 cm. the hypotenuse ab of δabc will be twice the length of ac, so 12 cm. segment bd is the difference of the lengths ab and ad, so is

bd = ab -ad

bd = 12 cm - 3 cm = 9 cm

comment on side length ratios

you can figure the ratios of side lengths in a 30°-60°-90° triangle by considering the trig ratios of the angles. or you can figure the length of the altitude of an equilateral triangle of side length 2 using the pythagorean theorem.

c is the correct answer.
